UNDER CONSTRUCTION | Viseu - Igreja da Misericordia |
Surrounded by vineyards, orchards and pine-forests, the charming country town of Viseu has been a northern crossroads since the time of the Romans, who chose its site for a military camp, the largest yet to be discovered in Portugal.
Viseu was made the seat of a bishopric in the mid-6th century, after which the Suevi destroyed the Roman walls. Today, its main importance is as the centre of the Dão wine-growing region, where crispy white wines and some of Portugal's most popular full-bodied reds are produced. |
